Nia Long Addressed Ime Udokas Alleged Cheating Scandals

Nia Long recently spoke up about her boyfriend Ime Udoka’s alleged infidelity scandal with a female coworker. After Udoka was fired as head coach of the Boston Celtics, the actress told People:

“During this terrible time, the outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and the community means so lot to me.”

She also requested privacy during the difficult times and said that she would continue to concentrate on her children:

“I respectfully request that my privacy be respected while I comprehend the recent occurrences.” Above all, I am a mother who will continue to prioritize her children.”

Nia Long has been married to Ime Udoka since 2015 and has two children. In 2011, she and Udoka had their son, Kez. She also has another son, Massai Dorsey II, with her ex-partner, actor Massai Dorsey. The news of Udoka’s infidelity scandal broke only two weeks after he relocated to Boston with Long and their kid. The pair were apparently looking for a home in the city. According to TMZ, the Celtics coach was made aware of his team’s internal probe into his affair in July 2022. Long, on the other hand, apparently discovered the scandal just a few days before it was made public.
